they're not concerned about republicans crossing over in large droves over the democratic doug jones at this point. if republicans do not show up, it's not enough to suppress the turnout to the point it would cost roy moore the election in this case. in the past he has struggled to get republicans that were not part of his base over to their side. they said if the democrats need to be concerned about. we talked to jones campaign. jones campaign on their end said they feel good about where the election is going. saying they believe they've turned out an operation that can get people to the polls particularly in these urban areas. especially around the birmingham area. >> i'm not sure you have the answer to this question. i'm going to ask it anyway. if you don't, just let me know. >> have you talked to alabamians about the fact if roy moore were to win, he were to make it to washington, d.c. and then guys like mitch mcconnell were to say, okay, we're going to start an ethics investigation into roy moore and make attempts to unsee him from

the senate. how would that play out in alabama for those people who have voted for him? >> reporter: sure, the best answer i can give to you is the people of alabama pushed back a very strongly against outside forces. whether that be the likes of mitch mcconnell. whether that be democrats. outside money and influence. even when i was here two months ago and luther strange versus roy moore race, there is a lot of pushback to the president of the united states coming here despite his swell of support here on the ground. i have a hard time imagining as they say here on the ground, let the people decide. let the people vote. let roy moore stay in the race. republicans over the last couple of weeks were calling for him to drop out of the race. mitch mcconnell the likes of other senators. the voters on the ground said let us decide. we may not like roy moore, but let us be the ones to cast the vote. >> safe to say this is far from over regardless of what happens today. vaughn hillyard. thank you. morning joe will be
